Do you provide certificates of insurance for property managers?

Yes, issued directly from our insurer and naming your entity as required. Liability, workers compensation and auto. This is normally the first thing a property manager asks for and we expect the request.

Can work be done outside business hours?

Yes, and on commercial sites it often should be. Parking lots, entrances and drive aisles are far easier to work early, late or at a weekend, and it avoids closing off areas your tenants and customers need.

Do you handle multiple properties under one arrangement?

Yes. Portfolio work is usually more efficient for everyone — one inventory, one prioritized plan, and work batched so mobilization is not repeated for each site.

What is a documented risk assessment for, on a commercial site?

It establishes what a reasonable owner knew and when. If a limb comes down on a car and there is a record showing the tree was inspected on a cycle and the recommendations were acted on, that is a materially different position from having no record at all.

How often should commercial trees be inspected?

Annually is a sensible baseline for trees over high-traffic areas, with a look after any severe storm. Trees in low-consequence positions on the same site can go longer.

About Our Commercial Tree Services

Commercial tree care is a liability question as much as a horticultural one. Trees over a parking lot, a walkway or an entrance are trees over people and vehicles, and the standard expected of a property owner is higher than it is for a homeowner. What that usually means in practice is a documented inspection cycle rather than reacting to whatever the last storm left behind.

We work with property managers, building owners, apartment communities and institutions across Montgomery County: scheduled pruning, deadwood removal over high-traffic areas, documented risk assessments, planting and replacement programs, and emergency response when it is needed outside business hours.

Our Process

Site walk and inventory

An arborist walks the property and identifies the trees that present risk, weighted toward anywhere people park, walk or gather.

Prioritized plan

What has to happen now, what can be scheduled, and what is worth monitoring — so the budget goes where the liability is.

Work outside business hours where needed

Parking lots and entrances can be worked early, late or at weekends to avoid disrupting tenants and customers.

Documentation

A record of what was inspected, what was recommended and what was done — which is what matters if a claim is ever made.
